Not bad, typical Ludlum style. I guessed / worked out who was behind it all long before the end, but it kept me interested. On an odd note, the blurb on the back of my copy had a big editing typo. The title of the books is "The Bancroft Strategy", its the name of one of the characters as well as a charitable Foundation in the story, yet my blurb called the character and the Foundation "Newton"
